I have seen other people complain about this as well, but....I want to say something. Why on earth is Ebay changing it's search engine? I was doing okay about 3 days ago when I was doing searches. Now, first of all, the search menu doesn't even have a menu now where you can check the box that says
"search using title and description". No, instead, now I need to go and look under Advanced Search and then check the box in that menu. Furthermore, when I go to finally look at the items that are under the search using title and description, if I change the category to something else, it will not remember that I had a check mark under "Search using title and description". I regularly look for longalls and jon jons every week (see my Ebay ID name, by the way?) and this is only going to complicate matters even more for me. So now every time when I look under a certain category (eg. baby and toddler clothes, and switch to looking under different sizes, eg. 2T, 3T, 4T, etc) I am going to have to go back to the ridiculous advanced search page and check it every time for search under title and description. This will turn day long searches into 2 days or 3 days searches. I don't know why Ebay had to mess around with something that worked already fine. Didn't they ever hear of "if it isn't broken, then don't change it??". I guess not apparently. Ebay has been getting very irritating recently, changing this and that, the font on this and that, the saved items list, and everything!! And Paypal is not that much better! After spending $10,000, they wanted me to go and become a verified member and attach my bank account to Paypal. I did that, but it was very annoying, and I've read messages from people on Ebay that have been so aggravated by this that they are totally dropping out of EBay. Way to make people stop being sellers and buyers, EBay.
Can any of you please tell me if there is a way that I can go back to the old format?? Sometimes you can do that. On Youtube for example, for a while at least, you used to be able to go to the old format. Isn't there a way to go back to the menu on Ebay just only a week ago?? There must be a way, or I am going to go into orbit and go crazy. If this continues like this, I am going to have lots of problems looking at auctions. Ebay seems to be as incompetent as members of the Congress.....they just want to "Fix" things that aren't broken, and they are making things worse and worse and worse. I don't know when Ebay will finally get the message. Maybe if more people like me complain about this, they might stop their shenanigans and stop trying to make things harder for us. Geez. I love collecting boutique and high end longalls and jon jons (which is mostly a children's clothing item you find in the Deep South mostly, smocked children's clothes are definitely a southern thing), but this is going to start to make it harder for me to do. I go through thousands of auctions a week, and the way Ebay is ruining things, it's going to take me much longer to get through.
Please help!!
